It's possible, but requires a few small patches to glibc and gcc. At the time I tried it, I based my changes on stuff from Cross-LFS, though basically, they amounted to search for all references to "lib64" in those packages, and apply a bit of judgement over whether they needed changing. The actual changes were to rename lib to lib32, and lib64 to lib (though without 32-bit libraries installed, I didn't actually have lib32). Worked pretty well, though I seem to recall that there were one or two BLFS packages that were problematic. One was LLVM (which for obvious reasons, needed similar changes to GCC), the others were things with non-standard builds that assumed that a 64-bit system would use lib64, instead of copying what glibc did.
